“有以待”是确立新型大国关系的基础

“Relying on Our Own Readiness” Is the Foundation for Establishing New Pattern of Relationship Between Great Powers

美国重返亚太战略搅得太平洋掀起了不大不小的风浪。这些风浪直逼中国的岸堤。崛起的中国虽然经济总量成为世界第二大国,但仍然是发展中国家。海洋经济是实现中国可持续发展不可忽视的领域,而美国支持日本、菲律宾等泛太平洋国家以为借口领土争议来围堵中国,目的就是制造"亚太再平衡"。这个"平衡"再明白不过——中国要发展海洋经济,必然其发展速度更加迅猛,在世界上的话语权更重,美国"老大"的地位不光在亚洲会动摇,在全世界范围内都会发生动摇。说穿了"再平衡"就是亚太地区怎样发展都要听美国的。回顾1840年以来的历程,你基本国力强盛,你有实力,打得赢时,你的道理才有人听。否则就打得你满地找牙,为此你还得付出高昂的"劳务费",这是毫无商量余地的事情。因而,若想争得充分的话语权,要想别人尊重你,要想建立新型的大国关系,就必须"有以待"。

The United States' policy of 'returning to Asia-Pacific region' has caused rather a disturbance in Asia. China just can not avoid being affected. The rising China, though the second largest economy in the world, is still a developing country. Marine economy is a field that can't be neglected for the sake of China's sustainable development. However, the United States, with the aim of Asia-Pacific re-balance strategy, tries to besiege China by supporting Pacific Rim countries like Japan and Philippines with the excuse of territorial disputes. The meaning of 'balance' is obvious—China's marine economy would surely accelerate China's development which means China's voice will carry more weight in the world. This will certainly shake the No.1 position of US in Asia and in the world as well. To put it bluntly, the 're-balance' means the US should dominate the development of Asia-Pacific region.Reviewing the history since 1840, we understand that your words would be listened to if you have the power to win. Otherwise, you could only shed tears over your crushing defeat. What's even worse, you have to pay for their spending on beating you which is non-negotiable. So, if you want to have total control of the affair, gain respect from others and construct a new pattern of relationship between great powers, you must rely on your own readiness.
